Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Collection of Problems in Illustration of the Principles of Theoretical Mechanics

IN the Third Edition of the Mechanical Problems the whole Work has been carefully revised, and all errors, which have been pointed out to the author or detected by himself, have been corrected. Some of the matter of the last edition has been cancelled, and the Treatise has been enriched by the addition of a considerable number of new problems, taken principally, when not assigned to their authors, from the examination papers proposed in the various Colleges of the University of Cam bridge, in the senate-house for the Mathematical Tripos, and to the candidates for the Smith's Prizes. Several additional classes of Problems, in illustration of various Theorems, might have been introduced into the Work with advantage: the bulk of the Book would however have been thereby increased beyond the limits within which it would seem expedient to confine it.

Excerpt from A Collection of Problems in Illustration of the Principles of Theoretical Mechanics

The design of this Work is to facilitate the study of Theoretical Mechanics, by presenting to the student a systematic collection of Problems in illustration of the more important principles of the science. The want of any such treatise, it is believed, has been felt by many as a serious impediment to the acquisition of adequate ideas in this branch of mathematical philosophy. Aiuch importance, it may be observed, was attached by the great discoverers of the mechanical theories to the full discussion of numerous problems, as will be evident from a reference to the works of the three Bernoullis, of Leibnitz, and of d'alembert, and to the beautiful investigations scattered throughout so long a series of volumes of the St. Petersburgh Transactions, by the liberal hand of Euler.
